Jamal Murray has been a crucial player for the Denver Nuggets throughout the playoffs. Sure, it’s a minor injury, but if it takes his focus away from the game, it could allow the Heat to make a comeback in Game 4 and tie the series at 2-2.
Jamal Murray’s Brutal Training Regimen For Pain Tolerance As A Kid
It’s obvious that the Nuggets fans are worried about Murray ahead of the Game 4 matchup in Miami.
But the fanbase shouldn’t worry much about the 26-year-old. In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Murray revealed the tough regimen he went through to tolerate pain as a kid.
“I did squatting with cups of hot tea on my quads, I did that for a while,” Murray revealed. “A lot of the time, without a clock, so you didn’t know how much time was left, which is a little bit different. We had this big maple tree in our front yard, so during fall, when the leaves fall off, it would be cold, and I would be picking up the leaves with my bare hands to strengthen my hand.”
“That’s why I can do what I do no matter how cold or hot the gym is,” he concluded.
